To the Editor:

On behalf of the sixth annual “Feed the Need” fundraiser for ADFAC (Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties), I would like to express a huge “thank you” to all those individuals and businesses who helped make this event a great success and a wonderful opportunity to share ADFAC with all of you.

ADFAC is a community-based United Way agency that addresses the diverse needs of low-income East Tennessee families. Serving more than 6,000 individuals each year, ADFAC’s goal is to help local impoverished families become stable and self-sufficient through a variety of direct assistance and educational programs.

Certainly, excellent publicity is especially key to all events, so we are very grateful to our media sponsors who were all especially helpful in getting “Feed the Need Week” in front of the public. And a huge debt of thanks goes to SAIC for providing valuable in-kind printing support of the “Feed the Need” advertising materials.

We also appreciate all the individuals who shared the list of participating restaurants with their friends and co-workers, churches and schools to encourage participation and support of this delicious event.
